[Javascript] MooTools & REQUEST_URI

[Philip Thompson]

Hi all.

In my application (using PHP), I have a method that checks for  
malformed URIs - basically checks to see if you're trying to hack me.  
Well, recently I began using MooTools (excellent product), and I  
noticed one blaring negative consequence. On the pages where I use  
ajax, the REQUEST_URI is getting filled with *stuff* from MooTools.  
Because it's url-encoded javascript functions, my method to check URIs  
catches it and explodes!

1. Is there a way to prevent MooTools from sending stuff via  
REQUEST_URI?

2. How is the REQUEST_URI getting populated? I've dug through the code  
and can't figure it out.

Any thoughts or advice on this would be awesome. Currently, I can't  
use MooTools because it interferes with my app's security. =(

Thanks,
~Philip
